Survival

I kept running away but eventually my stamina ran out, the muddy ground in the swamps suddenly became soft and that was it!

Quicksand!

My feets were totally submerged in the mud and they slowly kept sinking down.

All my efforts trying to escape were futile.

At that time I had no choice but to bet my life on the special skill I got after coming to this world.

Breath: you can breath anywhere

I could see the grass shake and I thought it is the lizardmen who were after me.

I started struggling to sink faster, within a few seconds only my head was left outside.

The last thing I saw before being fully submerged in the quicksand was 3 warriors and a blue haired girl...

I lost track of time, I couldn't open my eyes, my skin also wasn't in a good condition.

(You have survived under the deadly swamp for 9 hours, stamina and defence +10)

(You have survived under the deadly swamp for 27 hours, stamina and defence +15)

(You have survived under the deadly swamp for 81 hours, stamina and defence +20)

(You have survived under the deadly swamp for 243 hours, stamina and defence +25)

The only thing that kept me alive without food and water is the constant stat boosts, even though my health has been draining slowly but it gets fully recharged after each time I accomplished a survival achievement but lately the amount of time I need to survive for keep increasing by 3 times.

(You have gained a new skill swim, you can move under water)

Thank God something that can help me move!

I have lost all sense of direction regarding up and down, even if i kept moving in a certain direction there is no knowing whether I'll find an exit or not.

I slowly kept moving in a certain under the thick quicksand...

(You have found a chaos fruit, would you like to store it in the inventory?)

yes...

(Turning on automatic inventory storage)

(You have found a chaos...)

(You have found a chaos...)

(You have found a chaos...)

These messages kept repeating for a few days continuously, from what i could judge this chaos fruit were definitely supposed to be inedible.

(You have survived under the deadly swamp for 729 hours, stamina and defence +30)

(You have found a piece of adamantine ore)

(You have found a piece...)

(You have found a piece...)

(You have found a piece...)

(You have survived under the deadly swamp for 2187 hours, stamina and defence +35)

(You have found the sacred recovery tree)

Yeah!!!!

Finally!!!

Something useful for my current state, I took the recovery fruit out of my inventory and started eating it, the shape was like an apple but the taste was like a mango.

(You have gained +0.1% recovery rate)

It probably recovers stats like health, stamina and mana by 0.1% every minute...

The only thing that kept me living upto this point is to see stella again with my own eyes.
